My Encounter With Mandeep

It has been a long, long time since I've written a real blog. Since the pandemic days, in fact. But this warrants it. So there I was, going about my usual afternoon busywork at the AVN compound, when I hear a call from downstairs: "Hello?" I thought I heard my co-worker moving in that direction to see what was up, but then a few minutes later: "Hello?" Looked like it was gonna be up to me. So down the stairs I plodded, and immediately found myself face-to-face with a short, pudgy, balding man seemingly of Indian descent, whom I will call "Mandeep" for the purposes of discretion.  "Hello sir, is there somebody I can talk to here? This is the AVN?" he asked me. "Well yes, what do you need?" I asked. "I have traveled so far, I just need to talk with somebody who can help me," he implored. "OK ... what's happening? What's your question?" I persisted. "I want to find out how can I get into the industry?...

Waterdogging: Worse Than Baby Juggling

If there's one thing I learned from the horrific scandal that rocked Porn Valley last week concerning former up-and-coming porn dude Rod Jackson, it's that you do not, under ANY CIRCUMSTANCES WHATSOEVER, pour water onto an old, deaf and blind doggie.

This, I am now aware, is an atrocity the likes of which the porn community will not abide.
And I get it—the Great Waterdogging Disgrace of 2020, as I have dubbed it, was cruel, unusual and inexcusable. (Not sure how exactly one bathes such a handicapped animal without it being deemed abusive, but never mind that.) What was framed as a harmless goof for Twitter yucks was anything but ... it was scarring. Sinister. Not to mention wet.

The wrath incurred by Mr. Jackson in response to his ill-conceived waterdogging video was swift and merciless. He was castigated, no-listed, dropped by his agent, and for all intents and purposes run out of porn on a rail.

Now let me be clear: it is in no way my aim here to defend this dastardly deed. That shit was stupid. Just making some detached observations from the sidelines. And man ... I honestly don't think that guy would have been judged more harshly if he had put up of video of himself juggling a baby.

As a matter of fact, in case there's any doubt, I give you the following video ... well, not exactly of baby juggling as advertised, but pretty damn close and definitely dangerous looking (though oddly delightful if you ask me):
